Can flukes attach themselves to cbw's or other types of live foods that maybe introduced into the aquarium? In the past 3 years in the hobby I have used flake, frozen, freeze dried, and live foods to feed discus, other cichlids and the cleanup crews. My current observation comes after introducing live foods into a new setup. Within hours of the first feeding, flashing against objects has begun to occur. Prior to, only flakes and frozen were being fed, and the symptoms were not seen. I admit this time i violated a qt proceedure but the inhabitants are not really of value. If they can hitch-hike, it would explain why my discus needed to be treated every 4 mo., I think i'm going to have to goto a commercial supplier rather than the lfs.
